In 2001, a large-scale costume drama "The Son of Heaven" was preparing for filming. The investors of this drama were Shi Xue, who was in the business world at the time, and his Jewel Pictures.
It is said that the actor who was locked by the producer at the beginning was the popular student Zhang Xiaolong, but due to various reasons, the two sides could not reach a cooperation.
Just when the production team was worried about finding a suitable new actor, a college student named Huang Xiaoming suddenly received an audition notice. It turned out that Huang Xiaoming's head teacher was optimistic about his conditions, so he recommended him to the director.
Huang Xiaoming himself was enthusiastic about acting at that time and immediately participated in the audition. Fortunately, in multiple rounds of selection, Huang Xiaoming stood out with a new face and excellent acting skills, and finally got the opportunity to lead the actor.
At that time, Huang Xiaoming was just an ordinary student, and he was about to graduate and enter the society. It is undoubtedly an unimaginable blessing for him to get the opportunity to star in a big-budget drama at such a moment.
During the filming, Huang Xiaoming worked very hard, hoping to prove that the director did not see the wrong person through his own efforts. The seniors in the crew have conducted very strict training for him, a newcomer.
Under such a comprehensive exercise, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills have improved rapidly.
Finally, after the broadcast of "The Son of Heaven", Huang Xiaoming's acting skills were also affirmed. The audience was attracted to this handsome newcomer and speculated that he would be the next hot idol.
At this point, Huang Xiaoming officially debuted and began his star career in the entertainment industry. For an ordinary college student who is about to graduate, this is undoubtedly a turning point, and it is also the luckiest moment in Huang Xiaoming's life.
Shi Xue, the investor of "The Son of Heaven", was originally famous in the business world. But the good times didn't last long, in 2002, the second year of the success of "The Son of Heaven", Shi Xue was suddenly taken away by the relevant departments for investigation, and then he was officially arrested and imprisoned.
It turned out that Shi Xue was suspected of serious economic crimes, and the illegal acts were very serious.
This sudden change made Huang Xiaoming, who was soaring, also worried.
Seeing that the owner who invested in his famous work was ruined, Huang Xiaoming had mixed feelings in his heart. It is not easy for a young actor who has just emerged to protect himself in this storm.
However, it turned out that due to various reasons, the scope of this turmoil did not really extend to Huang Xiaoming. Although the investor was imprisoned, there was nothing illegal about the production of "The Son of Heaven".
Huang Xiaoming, as an actor, is not the decision-making level of the project, but can only be regarded as a vested interest.
Finally, after this turmoil, Huang Xiaoming re-examined his situation and planning. He understands that if he wants to gain a long-term foothold in the entertainment industry, he must be agile and flexible and deal with various emergencies.
Sometimes luck is important, but what is more important is vision and insight to judge the nature of people and things and make the right choices. This will be a valuable life lesson for Huang Xiaoming.
In 2003, Huang Xiaoming joined Huayi Brothers, which was in a period of rapid development at that time. This can be said to be an instant hit for both parties.
Huayi Brothers urgently needs to train their young actors, and Huang Xiaoming is the "dark horse prince" they dream of. After several rounds of negotiations and discussions, the two sides finally reached a cooperation intention.
Huang Xiaoming agreed to buy millions of shares of Huayi at a price of 10.8 million yuan, directly becoming the company's largest star shareholder.
For a young actor who has just entered the industry, it is indeed not easy to come up with so much money for equity investment. But Huang Xiaoming, after careful consideration, decided to take a desperate gamble.
He realized that working with strong capital would be beneficial to his own development. Investing in Huayi can obtain the full support and promotion of the company in terms of resources, and fundamentally change its position.
Sure enough, in the years after joining Huayi, Huang Xiaoming participated in a number of movies and TV series invested and filmed by Huayi, and his popularity is increasing day by day. In 2010, he also set up a company with Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Qixian to deal in imported red wine.
With just one wine auction, they recovered 15 million in investment costs.
There are all kinds of signs that through the cooperation with Huayi, Huang Xiaoming has accumulated contacts and experience in the business world. The initial investment of 10.8 million won him huge benefits.
So, he decided to follow the success of Huayi Brothers, officially created his own studio, and started his own business.
2013 can be said to be a very critical year for Huang Xiaoming's business syndrome. This year, through Li Bingbing's introduction, Huang Xiaoming met the mysterious investment master Ren Quan.
Ren Quan has gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, but he is better at investing behind the scenes. He and Huang Xiaoming speculated at first sight, and there was no defense between stars and capital between the two, but they hit it off at first sight.
So, they decided to cooperate to open a hot pot restaurant. This hot pot restaurant is not only a means of making a living for the two, but also a platform for connecting feelings and enhancing understanding.
Through the cooperation of hot pot restaurants, Huang Xiaoming saw Ren Quan's unique business acumen and operational capabilities. This paved the way for the two to work together further.
Under the inspiration of Ren Quan, the next year, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing and Ren Quan officially joined forces to establish an investment company. Driven by Ren Quan, Huang Xiaoming's investment territory has continued to expand, spanning into many fields such as catering, technology, fitness, photography, etc., and has achieved considerable returns.
Ren Quan has a unique perspective in the industry and has successfully invested in a number of entrepreneurial projects that have later become good stories. With his assistance, Huang Xiaoming also learned a lot of investment experience Xi the process.
With this relationship with Ren Quan, Huang Xiaoming's business path has become unimpeded. He has been on the Forbes China Celebrity List many times and is known as the "Prince of Dark Horses" by the industry.
It can be said that meeting Ren Quan was an important turning point in his business career.
Just when Huang Xiaoming's business territory was expanding, in 2018, he was suddenly involved in a stock manipulation case of more than one billion yuan.
According to rumors, it was an account in the name of Huang Xiaoming's mother who was involved in the illegal operation. Although the details are unknown, the incident still casts a shadow over Mr. Huang's business empire.
In the face of doubts from the outside world, Huang Xiaoming did not panic. He believes that as long as he is honest in his heart and adheres to the legal and compliant business path, the turmoil in the outside world will eventually pass.
So, instead of over-explaining or countering it, he kept a low profile and waited for the results of the investigation.
Sure enough, in the investigation of the stocks case, the relevant departments did not find conclusive evidence that Huang Xiaoming himself was involved in any illegal acts. Although public opinion still has doubts, Huang Xiaoming has not been subject to substantive administrative punishment or criminal conviction.
After experiencing this turmoil, Huang Xiaoming is even more determined to do things in a down-to-earth manner. He understands that if you take shortcuts in the business world, you will eventually overturn at some point.
As in Shi Xue's example, success may come quickly, but most of it is difficult to sustain.
On the contrary, only by taking one step at a time and developing the industry steadily can we achieve a lasting sense of achievement. Huang Xiaoming re-examined his business layout and adjusted his more prudent development strategy.
He is determined to prove himself with actual results, not just slogans.
Huang Xiaoming is already a recognized investment master in the entertainment industry, but there is one thing that is surprising - he has never let his wife Yang Ying participate in any of his investment projects.
On the one hand, this is out of the intention of protecting his beloved wife. Huang Xiaoming didn't want Yang Ying to be involved in the risk of investment and avoid unnecessary pressure on her. After all, there are too many risks and variables in this area of investment, and with Yang Ying's personality, she may not be able to withstand the blow of failure.
On the other hand, this also shows Huang Xiaoming's single-mindedness and persistence in feelings. His relationship with Yang Ying is very stable and there have never been negative rumors. The core of all Huang Xiaoming's business activities is still the maximization of family interests.
Investing in him is a means, not an end.
We see that Huang Xiaoming chose an investment method with relatively controllable risks, accumulating wealth steadily and steadily, without being confused by money. He has always maintained a humble and low-key style, and has never flaunted his wealth.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the support of a warm home in his heart that Huang Xiaoming can not lose himself in this circle of money games and continue to move forward. This is also what we can't see, the core spiritual core behind his business kingdom.
Overall, Huang Xiaoming's series of choices show the importance he attaches to his family and his attitude towards money. This also makes him to some extent, out of step with this circle, and to act more steadily.
